Blaster Worm, see group archive for removal

that help?)
 
Hi, Shelia.

Bad news, I'm afraid. Read this:

What You Should Know About the Blaster Worm and Its Variants

When you get it all recovered, make it a habit to visit Windows Update
regularly. Microsoft posted a patch in July that would have protected you
from that particular virus. Other patches block other potential bad guys -
but only if you get the patches and install them.
